14th October 2017

Unseasonably mild weather forced my hand and the MV trap went out. amongst the decent haul of 24 species, I was rewarded with four new moths for the garden including the always superb Merville du Jour (two individuals) and an incredible five Large Wainscot (the number of which equals my total recorded in Cottenham from 2009 - 2015).
